What is Human Resource Management? 
Every organization has people, which means every organization needs Human Resources (HR) professionals. HR helps manage and develop the people in an organization. HR is the function in charge of an organization's employees, which includes finding and hiring employees, helping them grow and learn in the organization, and managing the process when an employee leaves. Human Resources takes care of people from the time they're interested in the organization to long after they leave.

Typical HR responsibilities are focused in major areas such as recruiting and staffing, compensation and benefits, training and development, and labor and employee relations. Most HR professionals have experience in one or more of these specialty areas. To further explore these areas, please navigate to the "HR Specialties" tab in the menu bar at the top of the page.
